Correct answer: C
During respiration, process of ATP synthesis is explained by chemiosmotic model. it says that a proton gradient is required for ATP synthesis that is established by oxidation-reduction reactions.
In ETC, one NADH + H+ produces 3 ATP while one FADH2 produces 2 ATP molecules.
NADH and FADH2
are two different
types of electron donors. They differ in
the ways they feed electron during
electron transport chain. NADH feeds
its electrons into the electron transport
chain at the beginning (Complex I).
FADH2
feeds into the electron
transport chain at Complex II (at a lower
energy level down the chain). The high
energy electrons from NADH have
sufficient energy to result in 3 ATP
whereas the lower energy electrons in
FADH2
have energy for 2 ATP production.
ATP is synthesized via complex V.
In ETS, oxygen acts as terminal electron acceptor.
